Additional Manufacturer Narrative

A complaint of set turning brown was received from the customer.114 unopened samples were returned for investigation.Through visual inspection, the customer complaint was confirmed.The female luer was discolored on all samples.A device history record review for model dyndtc5081 lot number 22125254 was performed.The search showed that a total of (b)(4) units in 1 lot number were built on 07dec2022.There were no quality notifications issued for the failure mode reported by the customer during the production build of this set.The root cause of this discoloration is related to the sterilization procedure which iv sets undergo to help ensure product sterility.These iv sets are sterilized by irradiation, which uses electron beam or gamma rays to produce a sterile and safe iv product per iso 11137-1 and iso 11137-2, international standards for the sterilization of health care products.These standards are recognized consensus standards by the fda, which are adhered to by bd to specify the requirements for the development, validation, and routine control of a radiation sterilization process.The irradiation process is known to modify polymers which causes some discoloring, depending on the applied radiation level (dose) and material choices.The degree or intensity of discoloration can also change over time, as it approaches shelf life, and under certain storage conditions such as high temperatures.Nonetheless, this type of discoloration is strictly cosmetic and does not affect the safety and functionality of the device as tested and sterilized.This incident has been added to our database of reported incidents.Our business team regularly reviews the collected data for identification of emerging trends.Your assistance in this matter has been helpful in trend identification and supporting our commitment to continuous quality improvement.
